Soliciting site proposals for SIGCOMM 2019
SIGCOMM is actively soliciting site proposals for the 2019 conference. In keeping with past practice, the 2019 conference will be held at a wildcard site that can, therefore, be located anywhere in the world. Site proposals are short (two pages); requirements are described at: http://www.sigcomm.org/conference-planning/sigcomm-planning/site-proposal-instructions.

• Site proposals should be sent by email to the SIGCOMM Conference Coordinator, Jussi Kangasharju (Jussi.Kangasharju@helsinki.fi).
• Proposals are due by Oct. 15, 2017.
